I'm glad Maggie is getting airtime, but it's also a little sad because it just reminds me that Alice Horton will most likely never be seen again. :( but I am happy Maggie is the matriarch

That is the only downside and I have to wonder if that maybe why we are getting so much of her.

That and with Marlena gone, I think the show needs someone onscreen a good amount of the time to be the "talk-to" character and the person that kind of holds things together. The show needs a calming force and an emotional "heart" or "center" and who better then Maggie Horton, a member of Days' core family.

Many have been calling for Maggie to get more screentime for years and we are finally getting it. I'm pelased but I wish we could see Alice for sure.
